Product Information

Full details

The iDaffodil LEC500 is a versatile, rechargeable LED tail light designed for cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts who need enhanced visibility. Its primary benefit is its bright, multi-mode illumination, visible up to 200m, coupled with robust IPX5 waterproofing for all-weather use. A potential caveat is the varying battery life across different modes, with some modes offering significantly shorter durations than others.

FAQs

How long does the battery last on a full charge?

Battery life varies significantly by mode. It can last up to 56 hours in Slow Flash mode, 8-10 hours in Meteor/Double Meteor modes, 8 hours in Breathing mode, and 9 hours in Strobe mode.

Is the battery replaceable?

The LEC500 features a built-in 300mAh Li-ion rechargeable battery that is not user-replaceable. The light is designed for its intended lifespan with recharging.

What does the IPX5 rating mean?

IPX5 means the light is protected against water jets projected from any direction. It can withstand rain and splashes but is not intended for submersion.

Can I use this light in extremely cold weather?

The light is suitable for light snow and windy conditions. Extremely low temperatures can affect battery performance, potentially reducing runtime.

How do I switch between lighting modes?

Press the center power button repeatedly to cycle through the available lighting modes. A long press will turn the light off.

What is included in the box?

The box contains the Daffodil LEC500 Red Rear Bike Tail Light, a USB Charging Cable, a Seat Mounting Strap, and a User Manual.

How long does it take to fully charge the battery?

The battery takes up to 2 hours to fully charge from empty.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on.

Ensure the light is adequately charged. Connect the USB charging cable and check if the charging indicator lights up. If fully charged and still not turning on, contact customer support.

Light is not charging.

Verify the USB cable is securely connected to both the light and the power source. Try a different USB cable or power adapter. Ensure the charging port is clean and free of debris.

Light flickers or turns off unexpectedly.

This could indicate a low battery. Recharge the light fully. If the issue persists after a full charge, there might be an internal connection problem; contact support.

Water damage despite IPX5 rating.

While IPX5 offers protection against water jets, it is not designed for submersion. Ensure the charging port cover is securely closed after charging. If damage occurs from heavy rain or accidental submersion, contact customer support.
